The game is set in the fictional kingdom of Avernon; according to Steph, it is "a once peaceful land, now laid to waste by the bloodthirsty raiders of the Black Well". If Chloe chooses to join the game, Steph will give her the option to visit the Training Grounds, Prison Camp, and Warlord's Tent.

Elamon and Chloe's character can visit the training ground. Upon arriving, they are seen by a "heavyset orc, who immediately shouts and points." A dozen trainers are on the training field, and they all ready their weapons and charge at the two heroes. Mikey, as Elamon, casts Ergel's Acid Blast, which kills their enemies by melting the flesh off their bones. However, the orc sergeant remains unharmed, and attacks Chloe's character with a warhammer. She must choose how to fight back.

Knee Slam

Chloe says that her character knees him "right in the orc-balls". She succeeds, and Steph says "The orc clutches his groin, never to father children again." Chloe must choose another option.

Fatal Cleave

Chloe's character swings her greataxe and the orc "splits open like a hotdog bun".

Pommel Strike

Chloe says that her character strikes the orc's pommel. Mikey laughs, and Steph explains that a pommel is the end of the sword handle, but she can't do that move, since she isn't using a sword. Since she delayed too long, the orc swings at her head and barely misses. Chloe must choose another option.

Chloe is ecstatic, declaring that she is awesome at the game, and Steph agrees that it's going well. Chloe asks Steph about the loot, but she responds that it is unlikely there is any loot left, now that the Training Ground is flooded with acid.

Forgive Mikey

Chloe encourages Elamon, stating that he shouldn't worry and they all make mistakes. Elamon responds that Chloe's character "is most wise and forgiving".

Blame Mikey

Chloe's character raises her axe angrily and declares that Elamon will pay for ruining the loot. Elamon apologizes, and gives his potion to Chloe's character; in actuality, Mikey hands Chloe a piece of candy.

Chloe must now journey to either the Prison Camp or Warlord's Tent, or leave the game.

Steph describes the Prison Camp as "a field of iron cages, each imprisoning a human villager". The only one guarding them is a "small, elderly dragonkin". Noticing the heroes, the dragonkin runs away in fright and locks himself in one of the empty cages. The heroes must get the keys from him so they can free the prisoners. Chloe's character calls to him, insulting him and telling him to leave the cage. The dragonkin jumps up and down and shakes his ring of keys, then insults Chloe's character in a strange language she can't understand. Chloe asks Mikey if Elamon has any useful spells, but he replies that they would blow up the cage and everything in it.

Pick the lock

Chloe's character spends a long time attempting to pick the lock, but is ultimately unsuccessful. The dragonkin then "makes an obscene gesture at what [Chloe] can only assume are his genitals". Chloe is annoyed, but Mikey is amused. Chloe must choose a different option.

Intimidate with backtalk succeeded

The dragonkin is stunned and attempts to call for help when Chloe's character interrupts him by shoving her axe in front of the cage, pinning his head in the bars without hurting him. Chloe's character then says she will "carve the skin from his bones and turn it into a little leatherskin handbag and shove his skinless body into it and carry it with her wherever she goes." This way, the next time [Chloe] runs into someone else who refuses her demands [Chloe] can "pull his body out and show them what happens." Chloe's character then gets a 10+ to Charisma and after rolling successfully, "a small pool of urine collects under the elderly dragonkin as, hands trembling, it hand you the keys. Then it dies in fear." Elamon frees the prisoners and they run away from [Chloe] in fear.

Intimidate with backtalk failed

Tempt with bread

Chloe's character tries to tempt the dragonkin out of the cage with the bread in her inventory, but the dragonkin is disgusted by the offer and sticks out his tongue at Chloe, who becomes frustrated. She must choose a different option.

The two heroes enter the tent, where Duurgaron sits on his throne. He laughs at them, stating that their lands and people already belong to him, that their actions mean nothing, and that they and their kingdom are weak. Elamon attempts to cast a fire spell, but it is revealed that Duurgaron is wearing a Bracer of Fire Immunity. Mikey is disappointed, as all of his spells are fire-based. Chloe must make a move.

Brutal Punch

Chloe states that she wants to "punch that stupid man cow right in the dick". Steph hesitantly asks about her request, and Chloe repeats it with more emphasis. If Chloe used Knee Slam on the orc earlier, Mikey will remark that Chloe "punch[es] a lot of dicks". Chloe's character will miss, and stumble, giving Duurgaron an opportunity to gore her with his horn, doing eight damage. Chloe must choose another attack.

Annihilation Strike

Chloe chooses to use Annihilation Strike, because it sounds "boss as fuck". She rolls a one, so Chloe's character trips on a rock and falls, her axe swinging wildly to the side. Steph tells Mikey to roll a reflex save, but he rolls a three. Chloe's character's accidentally hits Elamon with her axe, cutting off both of his feet. (...)

Wrathful Rush

Chloe asks what Wrathful Rush is, and Steph replies that it's an "angry, angry shoulder slam". Chloe decides to do it, and her character charges at Duurgaron, catching him off-guard; he fails to dodge, so the elf barbarian slams her shoulder into him and does a bit of damage. Chloe must choose another attack.

I am so sorry

Chloe apologizes to Mikey.

This game is awesome

Jump in front of Elamon

Um... dance?

Chloe chooses to dance to distract Duurgaron to the confusion of Steph and Mikey exclaims he is doomed. She rolls a sixteen, so Chloe's character's dance surprisingly mesmerizes Duurgaron, holding his sword in the air for ten seconds. Elamon uses the confusion to crawl away.

Encourage Elamon

Swing for his head

Swing for his arm

Chloe chooses to bring her character's axe down on Duurgaron's arm with the Fire Bracer. She rolls a twenty, so Chloe's character's severs Duurgaron's arm completely, and the Fire Bracer along with it. Lying on the ground, Elamon casts Gignomi's Firestrike of Flame and conjures a flaming spear which travels from his hand and spears Duurgaron's chest, incinerating him from the inside out. Duurgaron is defeated, but Chloe's character's injuries were too great and she dies. Chloe feels sad until Mikey says "Better to have died as a hero than live as a coward."

The celestial avenger is mentioned when Chloe approaches Steph and Mikey, who says that if he knew the celestial avenger was bloodied, he would've given him a potion. Steph replies that it was a skill challenge, so a potion wouldn't have worked.

On September 7, 2017, a live community playthrough of the tabletop mini-game was held on the official Life is Strange page on Twitter. The followers had the chance to watch little clips and to choose how the story unfolds by voting for the decisions made throughout the campaign.

Zak Garriss said during a playthrough with Eurogamer that "Warden" from the spell "Warden's hideaway", is an anagram for Andrew North.[2]

Chloe's possible self sacrifice of her tabletop character to protect Mikey's character in Episode 3 could allude the ending choice of the original Life is Strange.

The tabletop game in Episode 3 was added late in development according to voice actress Katy Bentz.[3] The subtitles of the tabletop game are internally called "_NEW_", e.g. "E3_S04_C_CHOICE_S04C_273_NEW_01=".
